"Okay, it's good to be back, it's good to be back." Old Madam Gu choked up.

"Qiaoqiao, I'm your little uncle." Gu Shijun opened his mouth to break the silent atmosphere.

"I'm your little aunt." The middle-aged woman beside Gu Shijun winked at Qiao Yixi with a smile.

"Little uncle, little aunt."

After a few words of greeting, Old Man Gu took the men to the outer courtyard, and all the female dependents stayed, along with Qiao Yixi's cousins.

"Mother." Gu Jingshu sat beside Old Madam Gu.

Old Madam Gu examined it carefully, and then said with confidence: "I see that you and Qiaoqiao are in good shape, and I am finally relieved." ”

"My daughter and Qiaoqiao are quite competitive this year, and they didn't lie down as soon as winter came, so they came back in time for the year. Qiaoqiao grew so big, and he came back once, it's not good for me to be a daughter, and I didn't let the child come back to accompany you more. Looking at the Zhang family and the Li family, Gu Jingshu said sincerely, "Thanks to the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law over the years, my sister-in-law not only did not help, but also dragged everyone down. ”

"What are these words?" The straightforward Zhang glanced at Gu Jingshu, "Family, what do you do so clearly?" You are Shiyang's sister and my sister, so I should do more. In the past, you came back less because of your poor health, but now your body and bones are getting better, if you really feel sorry for not going, come back to live for a while and help me share the burden. ”

"That's for sure." Gu Jingshu knew that Zhang was afraid that she would have a psychological burden, so she said so.

When the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law got married, she was still young, and she got along well with the two sisters-in-law, even if she got married, her parents gave so much dowry and dowry, and the two sisters-in-law not only did not complain, but also took the initiative to add makeup, and one of them gave her a shop.

Which sister-in-law can be so generous?

She slipped and injured her body, and the two sisters-in-law came to take care of her for more than a month, and then she couldn't get pregnant, the two sisters-in-law helped find a lot of home remedies, sent a lot of good medicinal materials, and finally got pregnant with Qiaoqiao, and the second sister-in-law rushed to Jincheng non-stop, accompanied her for more than a month, and when she gave birth to Qiaoqiao, the two sisters-in-law stayed by her side until she finished her confinement.

Gu Jingshu knew that she was squeamish.

Before leaving the cabinet, she had the love of her parents and brothers, and she could be said to be smooth sailing, that is, she followed her mother to learn to run the house, and she was also in a relaxed environment, so her temperament has always been very soft. Even if she is married to Qiao Xingbang, as the daughter-in-law of the long house, she has more responsibilities, but Mrs. Qiao is used to being in control, and there are not many rights in her hands, so she is happy and relaxed. Later, because of physical reasons, she was also a very low-key existence in Qiao's family, without the deliberate difficulties of her elders, and there was no jealousy between concubines.

It wasn't until she saw with her own eyes what happened to her daughter, who was implicated because of her concessions, that she realized it.

Retracting her scattered thoughts, the smile on Gu Jingshu's face became even brighter.

Sensing the changes in her daughter, Mrs. Gu was also very pleased.

"What's going on with Jojo's eyes?" Zhang endured it for a long time, the atmosphere was not good before, she didn't ask, and now she finally can't help it.

"It hurts." Gu Jingshu also sighed.

"How did it hurt?" Old Madam Gu took Qiao Yixi in her arms and looked at Gu Jingshu dissatisfied.

Gu Jingshu said helplessly: "When I was in Laba, I followed Mrs. Zhenyuan Marquis to give porridge in the Land Temple, and there was an accident halfway. ”

"Mrs. Zhenyuan? Has the Qiao family climbed a high branch? Because of her dislike for Old Madam Qiao, Old Madam Gu's tone was not very good.

"It's a long story," Gu Jingshu said succinctly, ...... the story.

Old Madam Gu said unevenly: "Co-author, my Qiaoqiao saved people by mistake?" Who, what do you mean? ”

The "who" in Mrs. Gu's mouth is naturally Gu Jinzhen.

"Qiaoqiao, don't be afraid, if that person dares to do anything to you again, he will directly slap him and greet him, what about the status of Jingui, and the identity of Jingui can't be without Wang Fa! We can't die openly, and we have to die secretly! ”

Mighty!

Qiao Lixi's eyes lit up, with such a powerful grandmother, can she do whatever she wants.

The dissatisfied voice of "Mother ......" came, and the people who were chatting energetically found a few neglected little men.

"Qiaoqiao, come, these are your cousins......" Zhang beckoned to Qiao Yixi.

Several men suddenly straightened their chests and stomachs.

When you see your cousin for the first time, you must show your best side.

Grandfather said a long time ago that the cousin is a girl, and they must speak softly and not scare the cousin.

Also, the movements should be gentle, and you can't roll up your cuffs and open them without saying a word, that's rude behavior, and you want Sven in front of your cousin, Sven!

"Qiaoqiao, this is your eldest cousin Gu Pingxin, second cousin Gu Pingjie, and third cousin Gu Pingqing."

"Big cousin, second cousin, third cousin." Qiao Lixi is as good as a stream, and she is blessed by the three little men.

The three of them immediately blushed, and the little cousin looked petite, and she would fall down when the wind blew.

When they saw this kind of weak girl before, they all scoffed and rolled their eyes in disgust, but when they came to the little cousin, they only felt that the little cousin was not at all the same as those girls.

The weakness of those female babies can't help but look pretentious, it is completely made, and the little cousin is delicate in her bones, much more pleasing to the eye than those pretentious young ladies.

The main thing is that the cousin is good-looking, take it out and have a long face!

"The injury at the corner of Qiaoqiao's eye, what should I avoid? Are you still drinking medicine? Interrupted by a few boys, Zhang asked again.

"It's already scabbed, and I've been taking medicine, and this time it's because I'm afraid that the wind will be strong on the road and I'll be frozen, so I've been sticking gauze."

"That's good," Zhang nodded, "Okay, you guys can't wait, Qiaoqiao, go around with a few of your cousins." ”

A few men couldn't sit still for a long time, and after getting the order of the elders, they immediately took Qiao Lixi towards the backyard.

"Qiaoqiao, when I learned that you were coming back, my grandmother had already let people clean up, this time you lived in the yard before your aunt left the pavilion, it was the best yard of the Gu family, and my grandmother kept it for my aunt, and the things in it had not been touched, and it would be cleaned every few days, and this time I added a lot of things, you go and see first, if you are not satisfied, tell the eldest cousin, the eldest cousin will help you buy it."

"Just your taste," Gu Pingjie said sourly, "I think it's better to forget it, it's either red or green, it's spicy when you look at it." Qiaoqiao, if you have something to find your second cousin, your second cousin is out of the way, there is nothing that can't be done, if someone dares to bully you, report the name of your second cousin directly. ”

"Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao," Gu Pingqing is the youngest, and his ability is not as strong as his two elder brothers, but he can't show weakness in front of his little cousin, "The third cousin can also help you, I have a lot of good things that my father brought back from Fanwai, all of which are not available in the imperial dynasty, and you will choose a few later, if you can see them, the third cousin will give them to you." ”

Qiao Lixi couldn't cry or laugh, but she felt the kindness of her three cousins.

The next day, Qiao Lixi got up early in the morning and made an appointment with her three cousins to go shopping.

Chaotianmen is the world of the Gu family, a few children go out alone, the adults are very relieved, besides, there are maids and mothers-in-law to follow.

The maids and mothers-in-law of the Gu family are all good at fist and foot kung fu, and with them to follow, there is no need to worry.

Qiao Lixi is curious about everything, there are no adults to follow, a few children are very comfortable, the snack street is a must, taste the same, after walking a street, Qiao Lixi can't hold it anymore.

"Jojo, this is the fish market." Gu Pingxin introduced to Qiao Yixi, "Not everyone is qualified to fish, before going down the river, you have to pay a management fee, the boat is launched from our Gu family's wharf, and when it comes back, it will dock at our Gu family's wharf, until the transaction is completed, during which we will be responsible for the safety of the ship and the cargo, however, this has to charge another fee." Our Gu family's warehouse is near the wharf. ”

"What's the difference between this and the Cao Gang?" Qiao Yixi listened very carefully, so she asked very carefully.

"Yuzhou is very special, because of the restrictions of the geographical environment, it can be said that the communication between Yuzhou and the outside world is very lacking, the Cao Gang is indeed very strong, but the strength is not extended to Chaotianmen, it can be said that this section of the Jialing River is the world of our Gu family."

Qiao Yixi nodded instructively.

Chaotianmen Wharf is the largest entrance and exit of foreign traffic in Chongqing and Shuzhou, and it is operated in a monopoly manner.

"However, the Gu family's power is so great, the government ...... there"

"Officials and officials protect each other, the Gu family has a lot of points every year, besides, the Gu family's power is all over Chaotianmen, and now the officials, which one is not Mingzhe to protect himself, I just hope that during his tenure, there will be no major incidents, and the official road will be smooth. As an official in Chaotianmen, whether you can do it or not depends on our Gu family. ”

Gu Pingxin is not exaggerating at all, the Gu family really has this ability.

Qiao Yixi nodded reassuringly.

Although they know the strength of the Gu family, the people do not fight with the officials, and the people who are not easy to manipulate and control are the biggest troubles for the officials, and they also want to get rid of them the most. Listening to what the eldest cousin said, the Gu family is very prestigious in Chaotianmen, so it is good that they will not be targeted by the government.

After turning around, the group arrived at the restaurant.

"This restaurant is opened by the eldest cousin, Qiaoqiao can order whatever he wants." Gu Pingxin looked proud.

Qiao Lixi couldn't help but look at him more.

Gu Pingxin is only sixteen years old, saying that it is not big, saying that it is not small, maybe he will do a little business with the support of his elders, but he can open a restaurant, such a big stroke, it is really surprising.

Seeing the admiration in the eyes of the little cousin, Gu Pingxin became more and more proud, "This restaurant was prepared by the eldest cousin and a few friends a few years ago, and the eldest cousin is the largest shareholder, and it has been in business for almost a year. ”

Boom.

Qiao Yixi rolled her eyes and looked at the menu seriously.

It's all home-cooked, and there is no high-end route.

The people of Yuzhou and Shuzhou like to eat spicy, especially the people of Yuzhou, and their hot temper is also derived from eating spicy.
